Summary

This article documents the dedication of fishermen to maritime trade shortly after the awarding of the Town Charter of the City of Plasentia (1299), along with those from other ports of Biscay, along the North-South axis of the European Atlantic Ocean. A constant commercial factor of the port was the coasting trade from the Middle Ages until 1808 of iron mined in Somorrostro from coastal ports to the ironworks situated "between the two Bayonnes" and "beyond".
